Local knowledge for Nis
Where to stay
Most hostels sit within a few blocks of Niška Tvrđava, the old Ottoman fortress at the center of town, with easy walking access to the čaršija and Kazandžijsko sokače, the pedestrian lane lined with kafanas and cheap spots to eat. Staying anywhere between the fortress and the Nišava riverbank keeps you close to everything without needing a taxi.
Getting around
- The fortress has free entry and hosts open-air concerts and food stalls most summer evenings. Check the program at the gate rather than buying a tour.
- Buses to Sofia depart several times daily from the main bus station on Bulevar 12. Februara and cost cheaply. It is one of the cheapest cross-border hops in the Balkans and faster than the train.
- Eat at the kafanas around the čaršija rather than anywhere near the main waterfront promenade. A full mešano meso plate with bread runs a modest amount at the no-menu spots on side streets.
When to go
